Erik Mykland: Biography, Facts and Career
Who is Erik Mykland? An evergreen, sourced profile: biography, key facts and career.
Erik Mykland (born 21 July 1971) is a Norwegian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He was nicknamed Myggen (mosquito) during his career, as he used to flap his arms and hands like one when celebrating his goals. A rarity in modern Norway footballers (standing at a mere 172 centimeters and a technical player), he played professionally in six countries, mainly representing IK Start, and earned 78 caps for the Norway national team, having appeared in the 1994 and 1998 World Cups as well as Euro 2000. Mykland was one of the most popular footballers in Norway but never without controversy, his bohemian, unshaved look and relaxed lifestyle in contrast to those of the typical footballers.
